The Contact Zone™

The Contact Zone™ is the space between people where significant impact takes place. The impact can be positive or negative, depending on the people involved, and how they act and react.

Constructive activity is much higher and destructive reactivity is much lower when the Contact Zone™ is skillfully navigated. These skills are necessary for leaders and team players who want to optimize their impact in a positive and powerful way.




"I learned so much today about negative patterns of leadership, and how to break those patterns...This is tremendous! "

"I love your reactive and relational transformation model."

--Workshop Participants


The Contact Zone™: Power & Influence Training

The Contact Zone™: Power & Influence Training shows participants how to influence others by relying less on position power and more on personal power. They learn about 4 pervasive, limiting reactive patterns and 4 corresponding, relational antidotes. When these relational skills are applied, the result is a more versatile leadership style and personal power as a leader.

The productivity of your organization will increase dramatically when a leader knows how to connect with team members in a way that generates commitment from the team rather than compliance or non-performance. When the team is committed, the result is added discretionary effort, collaboration and innovation that strengthens the entire organization.

The Contact-Zone Board Game is a central feature of the workshop. It relies heavily on interactive feedback, giving participants a chance to quickly apply and demonstrate new learning.
